Academics
Structure
A Discipline in the Beijing International Studies University is a broad administrative concept for categorising related academic units. The disciplinary divisions usually differentiate the degrees awarded. Currently, the academic system of Beijing International Studies University is made up of four disciplines: Arts (languages, literature, cultural studies and philosophy),
Teaching and research at BISU is organized by departments, schools and institutes. Schools may establish subsidiary departments and other subordinate institutions because of the organisational history or operational needs. Institutes are graduate schools that conduct research projects aside of the course plan, usually in collaboration with the municipality government or national institutes (otherwise graduate schools are affiliated to schools and departments themselves). In addition, there are supporting entities for teaching and research, including six teaching and research offices for compulsory subjects, the University Press, and the University Library.
As of 2013, there are about 50 departments, schools and other institutions running the four disciplines of the university.[70][71] The major academic units are:

The State Council turned over Beijing's Second Foreign Language Institute to the National Tourism Administration (NTA) to become the Beijing Tourism College over the competing bid of the Ministry for Foreign Trade.
